I'm making a Visual Basic GUI application to display whether a number of my ports are open for people to know whether things like my website and my Minecraft server are open.My problem is I have absolutely no idea how to do this in Visual Basic.Basically, I'm asking for something which sends a signal to an IP with a specific port, if it is open then return true, if it's closed, return false.

I have an application which need to send data to particular system on specific port. But the application gets hang if the target system port is closed.

I have written some code to check if a port is open. I'm currently trying to work with the system.net.sockets name space.I know that the easy way out would be to use AxWinsock, but I don't think the AxWinSock is very cool, nor do I think it's very professional when trying to make network applications in VB.NET.
I've got this Error message : Socket Exception Was unhandled, No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:1 IDK, Like I said, I'm new to the System.net.sockets namespace, I'm pretty good with other stuff in VB.NET, but when it comes to the serious stuff like the system.net.sockets namespace, I'm not so great.look at this code and tell me what I am doing wrong, I've manged to get this far, and I don't want to just give up and continue watching my movie.

How to open/Read/Write in USB Port
View 3 RepliesI wrote a program that uses the following class from that site: VB.NET Tutorials - Serial Port Communication In VB.Net. The problem is that I cannot open a virtual serial port, and the second is that I want to make the communication asynchronous.
This is the subroutine which reads from the port:
#Region "comPort_DataReceived"
''' <summary>
''' method that will be called when theres data waiting in the buffer
''' </summary>
''' <param name="sender"></param>

In VB6 I had to always check if the port was open or not. But with VB.NET and the new Serial Port control I don't see any.If SerailPort1.Open then statements. In fact when I tried to use the code I got Expression does not produce a value.So does this mean that we no longer have to check to make sure the port closed?Is there a way to check if the port is open or not?
View 1 RepliesI have a class that inherits from the TcpListener, this class Shadows the Start method just to call the base Start() and the base BeginAccept Tcp Client(). From time to time the method is called but the port is not opened (netstat does not show the port open).[code]The class that uses the ExtendedTcpListener implements the IDisposable pattern and inside the Dispose the ExtendedTcpListener.Stop is called.The stop text is not present at the logs when the problems happens.
View 4 RepliesI have a few USB devices that use standard Microsoft Virtual COM Port drivers. More specifically, I believe they use the "Usbser.sys" driver. Whenever I plug my USB devices in, they always shows up in the Device Manager as a COM port, however, sometimes I am unable to open that COM port. This problem occurs on both Windows XP SP3 and windows 7 machines (The only operating systems I have tested this on).
To be a little clearer, I can plug my USB device in, and then successfully open the COM port. I unplug my USB device, then plug it back in, and I am unable to open the COM port. The only solution to this problem is to restart my PC. Is there any solution in VB.net to reset any entrees made to the Windows system when the USB device is plugged in? Has anyone come across this problem and resolved it via a VB.Net solution?
I have a programme that accepts data from a serial port. If I close the port and then the form no problem. However if I try to close the form with out closing the port it appears to hang. I have tried closing the port in the forms close event but this did not solve the problem.The data recieved event is as below and UseData is the private sub which actually handles the data. Usedata contains the code line Dim InputText As String = SerialPort1.ReadLine
Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived
Me.Invoke(New myDelegate(AddressOf UseData), New Object() {})
End SubI am aware that this event runs on another thread and I have seen but cannot now find information about closing multiple active threads.or do I have to "uninvoke" the delegate
I tried to make a winsock program.But when i run, i have a SocketException "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refuse it."Any suggestions on what i should do? Im using 17477 port.By the way Im using my own computer to test it. So i have no idea why.How should I open this specific port in my own computer?
Is it possible that I could include it to could into my program so that i don't need to open the ports of each computer? Below is my code.

I'm having this problem with a networked app in vb.net. If the program exits normally the port closes fine, however, if it crashes sometimes it remains open and I am unable to close it. The next time I run the program it is unable to open the port because it is already in use. Here's the exception: 10048: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted on how I can reclaim this port, or how I can close it? I tried using the reuse address socket option

I was wondering if its possible for VB to display all available COM ports that are open. he reason that I ask this is because this program will be run on various computers where the COM port will not always be the same. I have a text box now that the user can choose which com number he/she wants but if the wrong one is entered, the program crashes rather than displaying an error message. It would also be nice for the system to show which available com numbers there are
View 5 RepliesI have things set up so that the program is ready to start logging ,only when Recieving=true.This is controlled with Button1. So I click button1,Serial port is open and waiting for some signals from the Dyno.When 1 signal come it put a "1" in TextBox1 ,and for the second a "2" and so on. Thing is sometimes it starts right away, like I want it to,and sometimes it lags a fraction of a second, even though the Port is open.When it lags there are already 5 to 10 signals gone by before it starts logging 1,2,3,...and so on. Sometimes it don't start at all.Then I have to close and re-open the form and it works,but with lagging on the first "set"
"Textbox1 > 0 then" triggers a timer (not seen in this code)that samples Textbox1 once pre interval and writes the value to a listbox. On the upside as soon as a "1" is displayed in textbox1 the timer starts like it's supposed to.I noticed this behaviour before I added the timer and besides the timer has nothing to do with the signals coming from the SerialPort. I have my form setup so I can run "sets".Run one "set"...save...reset...run another "set" ...and compare.It's always the first "set" thats off.If I run multiple "sets" the first one is completely "whacked", and the rest are consistent.
Think this could be the SerialPort lagging,or code problems?
